Integrated Paging Technique

1. A method performed in a network node in a communication network, the method comprising: receiving instructions to monitor whether a first service is sending a message intended for a radio device; monitoring the first service, in accordance with the received instructions, in order to obtain information relating to whether the first service is sending a message intended for the radio device; receiving instructions to monitor whether a second service is sending a message intended for a radio device; monitoring the second service, in accordance with the received instructions, in order to obtain information relating to whether the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device; processing the obtained information of the first service and the second service; producing an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device; and sending the extended radio paging message for the radio device for enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio paging message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving instructions further comprises receiving instructions from the radio device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: deciding whether to wake up the radio device based on the processed information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network node is part of a mobile telecommunication operator network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network node is associated with or comprised in a mobility management entity (MME) or in any other core network (CN) node; or in a base station or other Radio Access Network (RAN) node.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message intended for the radio device is a request or a data message.

7. A computer program product comprising computer-executable components for causing a network node to perform the method of claim 1 , when the computer-executable components are run on a processor comprised in the network node.

8. A network node in a communication network, the network node comprising: a processor; and a storage unit storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the network node to: monitor a first service in order to obtain information relating to whether the first service is sending a message intended for a radio device; monitor a second service in order to obtain information relating to whether the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device; process the obtained information of the first service and the second service; produce an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device; and send the extended radio paging message for the radio device for enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio paging message, wherein the network node is configured for performing the monitoring as a result of the network node having received instructions to monitor whether the first service and the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device.

9. A computer program for a network node comprising computer program code which, when run on a processor of the network node, causes the node to: receive instructions to monitor whether a first service is sending a message intended for a radio device; monitor the first service, in accordance with the received instructions, in order to obtain information relating to whether the service is sending a message intended for the radio device; receive instructions to monitor whether a second service is sending a message intended for a radio device; monitor the second service in accordance with the received instructions, in order to obtain information relating to whether the service is sending a message intended for the radio device; process the obtained information of the first service and the second services; produce an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device; and send the extended radio paging message for the radio device for enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio a paging message.

10. A computer program product comprising a computer program according to claim 9 and a non-transitory computer readable means on which the computer program is stored.

11. A method performed in a radio device, the method comprising: sending, to a network node, instructions to monitor a first service in order to obtain information relating to whether the first service is sending a message intended for the radio device; sending, to the network node, instructions to monitor a second service in order to obtain information relating to whether the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device; sending, to the network node, instructions for processing the obtained information of the first service and the second service; receiving an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio paging message.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising: deciding whether to wake up based on the received extended radio paging message.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: obtaining information about a status of the radio device, wherein the deciding whether to wake up is further based on the obtained status information.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the status comprises at least one of remaining energy stored in a battery comprised in the radio device, and remaining free storage space in the radio device.

15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable components for causing a radio device to perform the method according to claim 11 , when the computer-executable components are run on a processor comprised in the radio device.

16. A radio device, comprising: a processor, and a storage unit storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the radio device to: send, to a network node, instructions to monitor a first service in order to obtain information relating to whether the first service is sending a message intended for the radio device; send, to a network node, instructions to monitor a second service in order to obtain information relating to whether the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device; send, to the network node, instructions for processing the obtained information of the first service and the second service; and receive, from the network node, an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio paging message.

17. A computer program for a radio device comprising computer program code which is able to, when run on a processor of the radio device, cause the radio device to: send, to a network node, instructions to monitor a first service in order to obtain information relating to whether the first service is sending a message intended for the radio device; send, to a network node, instructions to monitor a second service in order to obtain information relating to whether the second service is sending a message intended for the radio device; send, to the network node, instructions for processing the obtained information of the first service and the second service; and receive, from the network node, an extended radio paging message comprising bits dedicated to the first service and further comprising bits dedicated to the second service, indicating that the first service and the second service to which the bits are dedicated request to send a message to the radio device enabling the radio device to decide whether to wake up based on the extended radio paging message.
